    Last time, I tried to put a six-billion-parameter neural network in an off-the-shelf Misty robot. Today, we do it all ourselves - we turn this stuffed Quagsire into our own voice-activated animated robot, build our own speech recognition, and deploy GPT-NeoX, a 20-BILLION-PARAMETER text generator, on an ultra-powerful eight-GPU, 64-core supercomputer. Why? Because I felt like it.

    It's not that CZcams doesn't want to provide subtitles for Zach's videos. It's that their AI driven supercomputers and mountains of highly spec'd servers simply can't keep up with Zach's blisteringly fast articulation and wit.

      One year later, I think I can *almost* think of how a musical episode could work. There's a few intermediate steps that don't exist yet but sound plausible to a dumbass who dabbles in vocal synthesis, and it definitely couldn't be real-time, but I think it could be possible to make Christopher improvise insulting little ditties if we give them enough beef.

      Or you could desolder the USB port block, and tap them off to a USB breakout board. I did similar to my RetroPie case because the ports were mounted upside down.

    • @AndrewGillard
      @AndrewGillard Před rokem +4

      Or just solder to the pins on the bottom of the PCB :)
      Peeling open the USB port housing feels a little extreme when tool slippage or excess force could damage something that's probably still difficult to replace :

    • @Scrogan
      @Scrogan Před rokem +3

      @@AndrewGillard oh yeah, they’re through-hole components. There’s even test-pads down there too so you don’t have to solder directly to the leads.

    • @DragRedSim
      @DragRedSim Před rokem +2

      Yep, just be sure to blank the ports off; without a hub to arbitrate, two devices into one port just will not go. Although, with the time constraints this seemed to be made under, what we saw was probably the safest solution to guarantee that the setup works.

    you can also solder to the pads on the underside of the pi. Its basically the same as the micro usb cable only that you can easier use cables with a higher diameter and save the bulky micro usb port.
    Also you can solder directly to the USB port. I use silicone cable for that since its way more bendy.

    Also, if you are ever planning on revisiting or remaking/modding it, while trying to find the most powerful you were referring to, I found an article talking about Hugging Face releasing BLOOM on July 12, 2022 that uses 176-billion parameters and is multilingual. Which all just sounds insane!

    I find the servo sounds not cheap but quite endearing. If my children made the same sounds when they were moving I could stop constantly wondering where they went and why they didn’t put out the trash and recycling.

    I would love to find out if that digital assistant gag actually worked on anyone's devices. If it did, I gotta say, that's probably the assistant to go with. I've never seen one pick up a voice that a normal speed without pauses, let alone a speed that left me processing for %150 of the talk time.
